I cannot wait for this CD to come out. Without turning into a fangirl, I really think he should've won Oz Idol. His "The Prayer" is one of the best Idol performances from around the world (and I say that in confidence) and I'm so happy it sold so well.
Album's due out in early 2005 and is supposed to lean on the RnB side, IIRC.

I think this will be awful. He oversings and has a horrible tone to his voice. Yes he can hit the notes and he has power but that's all there is to it. The plastic fantastic tag is still valid and that will apply to his music too.
This album will do really well but in 2 years time he will be struggling when his fans forget Idol and they grow up.

I haven't heard this guy - but isn't he apparently the Aussie Clay Aiken or something? got in thru wild card, close second place, single outsold the winners'?
and apparently he's pretty short. that's all I know.

Clay and Anthony certainly have similarities, but fortunately Anthony isn't a queen.

Anthony not a queen? LOL
He is such a queen!
There was constant speculation during his entire time on Idol. He denied it. I don't think many people actually believe him.

People keep insisting he's gay although he's publicly said he's not? Yep, sounds Clay-like to me. ;)
(yeah, i don't actually believe Clay is...like I said I don't know much about Anthony, but I don't really see why people shouldn't believe him either)

That actually wasn't a sexuality reference. FWIW, I happen to think they're both gay.
I was referring to Clay's primadonna attitude.

There's an article on undercover.com.au that says that he may have been certified double platinum but he hasn't even sold gold yet! www.undercover.com.au/news/2005/mar05/20050329_anthonycallea.htmlAfter two weeks of sales, Callea's second single has sold around 31,000 units compared to the 180,000 units 'The Prayer' sold in the first two weeks on sale. Despite not even selling Gold to the public, the single has already been awarded double platinum status. Anyway... Im sure his album will debut at #1 next week. He is really popular right now but I don't think he will last. Reason being - he may have a good voice (a lot of people like it... I personally can't stand it but I do recognise that he hits the notes and has power, I just hate his tone), but he doesn't have much beyond that. Cheesy male balads aren't going to carry him far. |

but doesn't that kind of thing happ[en in America too? although here the RIAA makes labels wait a month before applying for certification, in situations when something doesn't sell and stores send tons back. So the Australian equavilent just certifies stuff ASAP? somehow that seems messed.

They've clearly just shipped out much more than there was demand for. The single is average, not worthy of being #1 |

I actually think "Rain" is a really good pop song.
I'm surprised by how poorly they've sold. I thought his fans were Clay Aiken-quality.

I have a copy of the Limited Edition CD...it's not bad...my favorite songs are "Obvious" and Callea's studio version of "Listen With Your Heart." It blows Casey Donovan's version out of the water! His voice was much better suited for the song.
